Another Immortals Handbook thread

It seems like, if the black hole golem has ~ the mass of the sun, it should be approximately 10^15 times more massive, which is approximately 2^50, so it should be well over 16 virtual size categories. o.o It should be closer to 50...

If a X8 density increases your virtual size category by +1, and those values are correct, then 16 is pretty close since 2^50 =8^(50/3)=8^16,6666...

Hi UK,

I've found one vey small spelling mistake and cause you love perfection I guess you wanted to know.
The Akalich's flight speed mentions a maneouverability

And by the way, this template will be the next evolutionary step for my Dreadlich characters

Hi UK,

Hey Rhuarc dude!

Thanks for the help mate, glad you like it.

The akalich is a progression of bone and spirit.

You have your four basic undead flavours:

Bone: Skeleton < Death Knight/Lich < ?/Demilich
Blood: Ghoul < Vampire < Nosferatu
Flesh: Zombie < Mummy < Hunefer
Spirit: Ghost < Wraith* < ?

I have ideas for the epic Death Knight and Wraith progressions (though I am still toying with names for those), as well as something akin to a super-powered Hunefer-Nosferatu crossbreed (called a Welkin).

I also have a few ideas for different kinds of shadows (Lunar and Stellar varieties).

*If I were detailing spiritual undead the wraith would be more powerful than a mere ghost.

I'd love to put a Hunefer Template in Volume 2, not sure if thats permissable though.

You mean more dense, right? As for the virtual size categories, log_8(10^15)=16.6096..., so I'd say 16 or 17 virtual size categories (without checking the figure).

The hunefer is in the SRD, so that shouldn't stop you.

The Death Knight, on the other hand, isn't, so that's a little bit more problematic.

Hey Ashardalon mate!

The hunefer is in the SRD, so that shouldn't stop you.

I may indeed add that to Volume 2.

...it wouldn't be identical to the version in the ELH, naturally I have a few ideas to spice it up a bit.

The Death Knight, on the other hand, isn't, so that's a little bit more problematic.

...well obviously I wouldn't call it a Death Knight. Maybe Death King - although that doesn't really inspire me. Sword-Wight? Weapon-Wight? King Wight?

 

[Anabstercorian]

Right, my bad on the size categories. My sincere apologies, Krust!

Well, templates for undead monsters are rarely capable of recreating the original undead monster, so why not use that to your advantage?

One of my moderators at Dicefreaks bought this for me (I refuse to use PayPal).

Anyway, I must say that the Bestiary is most impressive. My primary interest lies with the flavor... I notice that you've added quite a bit to your cosmology beyond that which is established in any edition of D&D with which I'm familiar (unfortunately, I never bought the Immortals box from basic).

Do you plan on statting out the more popular personalities to whom you refer like the various Dukes of Hell or Brood Lords? Or even something like Metatron?

 

[Baronovan]

Metatron's HP alone would take up their own column.
